> There's a great number of people watching the antilope being eaten, and rooting for the lion. Ignoring the metaphor and taking it literally: watching nature documentaries, I don't think I've ever rooted for the antelope. I've always been on the side of the big cats (particularly leopards, snow leopards and such)[1]. And reading comments under such videos, seeing most people rooting for the antelope was always disheartening to me, knowing that, if this cat doesn't kill this or another antelope soon, it's going to die. And out of the two I always prefer the cat to survive. [1]: Will also root for the lynx feeding on a deer, no questions asked. Lynxes are awesome. :)
